OSG UK Ltd

OSG UK Ltd – previously Norman Taps and Dies – was for many years a family-run business, manufacturing specialist taps and dies, supported by a range of standard products sourced from OSG Japan. In 1999, the company was aquired by the Japanese group OSG, renamed OSG UK Ltd and immediately became part of a global group of companies.

Our core business is in the marketing, sales and distribution of cutting tools to engineering distributors and OEMs across the UK. While the company still undertakes a level of original manufacture, the majority of our high performance products are of Japanese origin and largely sourced through the Group’s European stocking centre, based in Belgium.
